I am looking to obtain a Master’s in Educational Administration (supervisor). I read another comment that states this program does not include certification. If I go through Concordia and obtain my Master’s in Educational Leadership, what would I then have to do to become certified so that I may obtain a position as an English Supervisor (I currently teach English at the secondary level).

Dear Concordia, I am a teacher in Traverse City and already have a Master’s in Education in the area of curriculum and teaching. I’m curious about your degree in Educational Leadership: Is this a Master’s in Administration?
Please advise. Thanks
Hi Jill, The career opportunities will be focused more on being a leader, such as a division or department chair, director, or consultant. Thank you.
I decided to pursue my M.Ed. after finding out I was having a baby. I began and have never looked back. If you find that Concordia is right for you, you will have an amazing journey.
Stacy, Thank you for your comments.
I have BS degrees in biology and agriculture and a BA in chemistry. My background is in wastewater treatment and environmental compliance with a class A wastewater treatment license in Missouri. I have seven years experience teaching at the junior college level in water, wastewater treatment and environmental education. I also have a tech school 2 year certificate in horticulture. I am looking to the future and see the green industries and sustainability to be very significant in all our lives. I don’t want to get to stuck in the public policy arena but feel I am a good environmental educator. I desire flexibility as well as credibility and the ability to do my part to enlighten others as well as update my own perspective to current technologies and trends. I have heard of environmental compliance Master’s but these degrees seem to be bent towards a legal background. Is the CU Environmental Education concentration something which is likely to open more doors for me or provide focus in a more narrow scope? What career opportunities have your graduates have taken? Can those alumni be contacted in any way for their advice?
Mary, Thank you for your passion and dedication towards improving the environment! Click here: Environmental Education overview. Careers of graduates include: Higher education instructor, consultant in teaching environmental education, lobbyist, department chair for environmental education, curriculum director for environmental education, etc., just to name a few career opportunities that are available! This cutting-edge Master’s was recently introduced based on need and demand; if your interested you may be able to speak with a student currently enrolled in this program or a professor! Thank you.
How is the course assessed – is it by exam, essay, or dissertation?
Anne Marie, These programs are based on applied learning. Assessments are done through posting in the online classroom and normally you will have a weekly paper. Thank you.
Would I still need to seek state certification for the state of GA after completing my Master’s in Educational Leadership?

Reading is 11 courses or 58 weeks, so the sooner you start the quicker you will graduate! There is a one-week break from September 18th-24th. Thank you.

Cecil, at this time, we are not accepting transfer credits into the online degree program. The online M.Ed. is a one-year degree, and depending on your degree choice the credits range between 30-33.
